Reviews

David Chater
Times (UK)
Law & Order is a formulaic drama, but it is a formula with a clear structure, a rich variety of characters and an underlying intelligence.

Dead last, on the other hand, is Special Victims Unit, which in its third season still portrays Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay as the most naive, bleeding-heart molester busters in America.
